Signal K Server is a server application that runs on a central hub in a boat. Versions prior to 2.25.0 are vulnerable to an unauthenticated Regular Expression Denial of Service (ReDoS) attack within the WebSocket subscription handling logic. By injecting unescaped regex metacharacters into the context parameter of a stream subscription, an attacker can force the server's Node.js event loop into a catastrophic backtracking loop when evaluating long string identifiers (like the server's self UUID). This results in a total Denial of Service (DoS) where the server CPU spikes to 100% and becomes completely unresponsive to further API or socket requests. Version 2.25.0 contains a fix.
AnalysisAI
Signal K Server versions before 2.25.0 allow remote unauthenticated attackers to crash the server via Regular Expression Denial of Service (ReDoS) in WebSocket subscription handling. By injecting unescaped regex metacharacters into the context parameter, attackers trigger catastrophic backtracking that consumes 100% CPU and renders the server completely unresponsive to all API and socket requests. …
